About 5 Masefield Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Masefield Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Cliffe Woods, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8JW). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £472,000 sits 61.6% above the 2012 sale of £292,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in September 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years.
